This problem predates AI. If we could externalize such a fickle thing such as good taste it wouldn't be such a valuable skill. And God have people tried. Golden ratios, style guides, naming rules, linters, formatters, templates, margin ratios, color palettes, and on and on and on. And yet here we are.

We can quantize some of the basics, and make a not half bad style guide, but we'll never be able to fully actualize a set of rules to match what humans find generally tasteful. Its too contextual and a moving target.
